The line of poetry that contains an example of alliteration is:

C. The lazy lizard slither slowly through the grass

Alliteration is the repetition of the same initial consonant sounds in a series of words, and in this line, the "l" sound in "lazy," "lizard," and "slither" is an example of this literary device.
